👋 Hello everyone 👋

Hey everyone, Saud here, one of the people behind this forum. Wanted to drop in and say hi properly instead of just lurking in the background. Glad to see the community coming together, feel free to reach out if you ever run into any issues on the site.

Quick hello from Malakpet. Comforting to know real people run this place. I joined for the old city talk, and I haven't found it anywhere else. Thanks for building it. Please keep the vibe as friendly as it is today. Good luck with whatever's next, and see you around.

Hello Saud. Feels odd welcoming the people who run the place, but fine, welcome. Still, it's a good sign that you read the threads and don't just manage things from behind a curtain. Would love to hear your take on Hyderabad too, since you'd have a different view of the city.

Thanks for saying we can reach out, Saud. Most members have no idea who to ask when something breaks. Is the Contact page the best route, or can we message you here in the thread? Would be good to know before the next time my login acts up. Nice to put a name to the forum, even if it's just a username.

Hi Saud. I'm fairly new, but the site loads fast even on my patchy home connection. That's rare for a forum with this many pages, and I've tried a few over the years. The shoutbox is my favourite bit, it makes the front page feel busy and alive.

Rare to see the team say hello. Most forums I've joined never show their faces. Makes it easier to report a bug or suggest something, so thanks for that. Are any new features planned for the next few months? Even a rough idea would do. Mine would be a better search and a dark theme, in that order, though I'm not fussy.

Nice to know the people behind the forum are around, Saud. Most sites never show anyone. Last week my profile picture wouldn't upload, and somebody fixed it within a day. That kind of quick help matters a lot for a young community like this one.
